Bequests and Memorials

Bequests

Leaving a gift in your Will to Arthritis New Zealand is a good way to ensure the cause you support can continue to improve the life of every person affected by arthritis. Think of it as leaving a legacy that will make a difference to thousands of New Zealanders beyond your lifetime.
A bequest is a gift that keeps on giving – a way to make a lasting contribution to the fight against arthritis and the dream of a cure.
It’s simple and easy to include us in your Will and any such gift, large of small, is greatly appreciated. Bequests for “general purposes” allow us to use these gifts where most needed.
If you would like to talk to someone about leaving a gift to Arthritis New Zealand in your Will, or would like more information, please phone 0800 663 463 or email dianne.armstrong@arthritis.org.nz

In memory of a loved one

A thoughtful way to honour someone whose life has been affected by arthritis is to ask family and friends to make a donation in their memory, or in lieu of flowers. These generous thoughts and donations help fund our work for all those, young and old, who live with arthritis.
To find out how to go about this, please phone 0800 663 463 or email dianne.armstrong@arthritis.org.nz
